24th Oct

 A small arrival of migrants in the bushes with 40 Goldcrests, seven Firecrests and 20 Chiffchaffs along with six Dartford Warblers scattered around the Point and Desert. The only noticeable species moving over head were Swallows, with 80 heading mostly south. A Jack Snipe was seen in flight before landing near the Long Pits, our first of the autumn.

A single Radford's Flame Shoulder and two Scarce Bordered Straw were the highlights from the moth traps.
